Decolonize Yr Mind Lyrics by JER (AUS)

BOTHERED / UNBOTHERED

2022

[Verse 1]
I've been dreaming of an alternate reality
Free of colonizers severing our history
With a connection to land and Earth identity
Never feel like where I belong is a mystery
Not a ragtag plastic personality
Built upon everything we grew up on TV
Isolated in the suburbs from community
The power's unprecedented in unity

[Chorus]
And oh I know someday we won't beg and plea
For us to be set free
From this society

[Verse 2]
There's another reality
Where the world ain't hurting and niggas like me
Ain't just surviving, We vibing, living life, and children ain't crying (damn)
Or dying from a broken nation
Families torn apart, incarceration
Trade a hoodie for hipsters, straight gentrification
And assimilate into a world, alienation
Even with the evil empire reigning
Plus every single system working against us
We still trendsetters, go-getters
With nothing we make a world better
Could you imagine if we never got robbed? (God damn!)
If our land and our labor wasn't stolen by the bourgeois (Zee!)
If we weren't targeted by the law
But we coming out on top whether you like it or naw
Dystopia is where the system thrives
Built of violent screams (violent screams!)
But the people gonna wake up and break up
Because it's not a dream (not a dream!)
We're gonna eat the rich, we're gonna feed the kids
When there's nothing left to eat (left to eat!)
And y'all been warned about your greed
Exploiting for your salaries

[Chorus]
And oh I know someday we won't beg and plea
For us to be set free
From this society

[Outro]
Yuh, yuh, New Tone 2021 baby!
Yes sir, yes sir!
Fuck colonizers
Fuck the empire
Hell yeah nigga
Free Palestine
Abolish the police
Abolish the prisons
Abolish the lies that this country is free
We can not be free if we exist on stolen land
We can not be free if we rely on stolen labor
We can not be free if we refuse to let the exploited
Global south be free of the capitalist's exploitation
The system that is in place for the ruling class
Has a lasting effect on all of us
Racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia
A liberation of that system
Will be a liberation for the people
But before we decolonize this world
We must first decolonize our minds
Programed our entire life by the empire
We must kill the cops in our head
For we can not build a brighter future
If we can not envision a brighter future
We must vision a world
Were the people are taken care of
Where the people have the power
And when the people look out for each other
We must create that vision within ourselves
Within our relationships
And within our community
So tell me, can you dig it?
